About Galin

Galin Krastanov is a physiotherapist and kinesitherapist with over 10 years of professional experience working with the musculoskeletal system, physical rehabilitation, and movement therapy.

He holds both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Kinesitherapy from the Vasil Levski National Sports Academy, where he gained foundational knowledge and practical skills in anatomy, physiology, pathology, orthopaedics and traumatology, functional assessment, and rehabilitation following musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.

In pursuit of continuous professional development, he has completed additional training and qualifications in therapeutic massage, manual therapy, osteopathic approaches, kinesiotaping, soft tissue mobilisation, and other methods that complement his core professional preparation.

Since 2013 he has worked with people experiencing a wide range of musculoskeletal problems and conditions — from acute and chronic musculoskeletal complaints to movement restrictions, muscle imbalances, and the effects of prolonged immobility or incorrect physical loading.

His professional experience includes working with people recovering from injuries with chronic complaints, as well as active athletes, people with excess weight, a sedentary lifestyle, or insufficient physical activity.

Therapeutic Vision

Approach & Practice Philosophy

A tailored recovery plan for every client, combining thorough functional assessment, manual techniques, and modern kinesitherapy.

Personalised Care

Individual Approach

A core principle in his work is the understanding that there is no universal therapy that works equally well for everyone. Every therapy therefore begins with an assessment of the specific condition, lifestyle, movement habits, nature of the complaints, and the individual goals of the client. On this basis, the most appropriate manual, therapeutic, and movement methods are selected. Depending on the specific case, the approach may include therapeutic massage, soft tissue and joint mobilisation, manual techniques, kinesiotaping, therapeutic exercises, and movement therapy. The goal is not simply to temporarily reduce discomfort, but to improve function, movement, and the physical capacity of the individual, so they can return with greater confidence to their daily activities, sport, or normal way of life.

Science & Practice

Working Philosophy

Galin Krastanov believes that good therapy requires not only knowledge of various techniques, but also the ability to understand why a problem arises and what maintains its existence. His approach is therefore based on combining scientific knowledge, practical experience, and individual assessment, rather than applying a single methodology to every client. The positive results achieved in practice motivate him to continuously expand his knowledge and skills and to follow developments in modern physiotherapy, kinesitherapy, manual therapy, and physical conditioning. His goal is to help every person move better, feel better, and regain confidence in their own body.

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic Massage

60 min — €8090 min — €110

Therapeutic massage is an individual therapeutic approach that combines knowledge from anatomy, physiology, and manual techniques to address muscular-fascial tension, pain, and movement restrictions. At the core of the therapy is an individual assessment of the client's condition and the selection of appropriate techniques according to specific needs. Through targeted work on muscles, fascia, tendons, and joint structures, the restoration of normal tissue mobility and function is supported. Therapeutic massage may be directed at a specific problem area or may cover a larger part of the body, depending on the nature of the complaints. The therapy can help reduce muscle tension and discomfort, improve local circulation and tissue mobility, and support recovery after physical exertion or prolonged static loading. Therapeutic massage is suitable for people with recurring muscle tension and restricted mobility, as well as active athletes, people with physically demanding work, or those who spend prolonged periods in one position. The primary goal is not simply temporary relaxation, but the restoration of better balance and function in the body.

Face Code – Myofascial Face Massage

Face Code – Myofascial Face Massage

60 min — €80

Face Code is a specialised myofascial face massage that combines deep manual work with the facial musculature, fascial structures, and scalp. The primary goal is to address accumulated muscular and fascial tension, restore better balance in the facial musculature, and support the natural processes of microcirculation and lymphatic drainage. Face Code does not focus solely on the surface of the skin. Through precise manual techniques, work is carried out in depth on the tissues, with attention given to areas of heightened tension and imbalance. The inclusion of the scalp and associated fascial structures allows the treatment to take a more holistic approach to the face. As a result, the face may appear more relaxed, fresh, and toned, and the facial contour more defined. The treatment supports a natural lifting effect without the use of devices or invasive methods. Face Code is suitable for people seeking a combination of deep relaxation, manual work with the facial tissues, and natural care for the tone and appearance of the face.

Lymph Therapy – Bulgarian Healing Method (BHM)

50 min — €120

Lymph therapy using the Bulgarian Healing Method (BHM) is a specialised manual approach aimed at supporting the natural function of the lymphatic system, improving the movement of fluids in the body, and restoring a sense of lightness and balance. The method combines specialised manual work with an individual approach, body preparation, and guidance tailored to the specific needs of each person. When the movement of lymph and body fluids is impeded, some people may experience heaviness, puffiness, and fluid retention. Through specially selected manual techniques, the therapy stimulates natural lymphatic flow and supports normal circulation. Depending on individual needs, the therapy may include body preparation; specialised manual work; breathing exercises; guidance on posture and movement; and individual post-therapy recommendations. Lymph therapy may contribute to: a sense of lightness; support for natural lymph flow; reduction in puffiness and heaviness; improved local circulation; relaxation of the tissues; better body awareness; and support for recovery after physical exertion. It is suitable for people who feel heaviness or fatigue in the body; have a tendency to retain fluids; lead a sedentary lifestyle; spend long periods in one position; are subject to high physical loading; or seek a natural and non-invasive approach to body care.

Osteopathy

Osteopathy

60 min — €8090 min — €110

At the foundation lies the idea of the unity of the three systems of the human being: skeletal-muscular, nervous, and psychic. When these are in balance, a person is healthy. The human organism has a built-in natural mechanism for self-restoration — when the conditions of the external environment change, the organism adapts to them, preserving the balance of its structures. If one of the structures is damaged in such a way that the organism cannot independently restore its balance, this leads to disturbance in the other structures as well. This is how osteopathic dysfunctions arise — the presence in the patient of various dysfunctions, for example skeletal-muscular, neuro-vegetative, organic, vascular, or psychological. In osteopathy, illness is viewed not as damage to a single organ or system, but as a complex function of the entire organism. This dysfunction can be diagnosed by hand by the osteopath.

Mulligan – Manual Therapy

60 min — €60

One of the most popular concepts in manual therapy, developed by New Zealand physiotherapist Brian Mulligan in the 1980s. It is based on the theory of positional error between joint components. The concept consists of specialised techniques applied by the therapist, combined with normal physiological movements on the part of the patient. The concept is successfully applied worldwide and does not require unusual effort from patients, as all movements performed are natural to the body. It is applied for pain and problems in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spine, and is also suitable for treating problems with peripheral joints. Sliding movements are performed in the corresponding joint through mobilisation, and maintained until the segment returns to its starting position. Application is in positions where the weight of the segment or body acts actively — in positions where the body is load-bearing. The therapy uses no medications, and all movements are completely natural. This makes it suitable for almost all patients regardless of age, including pregnant women and people with chronic conditions. Contraindications: tumour processes in the spine and bones, hypertension, arthritic conditions, infectious diseases. A fundamental rule is that no pain symptoms should be provoked during application of the techniques.

06

McKenzie Method

60 min — €60

The McKenzie Method is a comprehensive approach for treating problems primarily in the spine, as well as peripheral joints. Developed by physiotherapist Robin McKenzie in the 1950s, it is a well-known, scientifically researched method based on diagnosis and treatment using a thorough, clinically grounded assessment of patients. It is indicated for all musculoskeletal problems including pain in the spine and limbs, as well as problems associated with degenerative changes of the intervertebral disc, sciatica, arthritis, and muscle spasms. The principles of the method encourage the organism's potential for self-recovery. It does not require device-based treatment, medication, or surgical intervention. The therapist trains patients so that they can participate actively in the treatment process. Mechanical diagnosis and therapy is designed to identify the mechanical problem and develop a plan to correct or improve the mechanics, thereby reducing or eliminating pain and functional problems. Treatment emphasises education, prevention, and the active participation of the patient, while minimising the involvement of manual techniques by the physiotherapist.
